Help Me simplify: C*(A+B) + ~A*B












2












$begingroup$


I know the answer is AC + ~AB, but how?



I have tried:



B*(~A+C) + A*C and stop.



Also, I have tried:



AC + BC + ~AB and have stopped.



There seems nowhere to go in either case.

I will not give you the full solution, but the required non-trivial sidestep. You have got this far:



C(A + B) + A'B = AC + BC + A'B =


Now here is the sidestep. We know that (A+A') is 1, so we can do:



 = AC + (A + A')BC + A'B 


From here you will need to expand it and use the "OR absorption law" twice.

    @Eugene Sh. Expanding the brackets was an obvious step but your "sidestep" was one that I had not considered. Very useful and I will bear this in mind for future tasks. A Karnaugh Map would also have provided a easy solution to the problem.
